Chica banda.

Café Tacvba in Oakland | info «here»My first Cafe Tacuba show was in 1993. It was free and it was full of grungy energized dancing teenagers that loved the fact that it was a one-day announcement deal. What a show. Very improvised and rad. In 2005 I randomly met 2 of its band members for a quick second in DF (Mexico City), one in a music-web studio and another having a beer at a whole-in-the-wall divebar, Queen Kong. I was so starstruck. It was cute. They are the it band of my generation served with an ice cold Mexican coke, hundreds of honking bochos in the background and the smell of the carne asada torta a cab driver next to you is having for dinner. Salúd!

I felt like sharing. Anyways, found these sweet posters via SonicLiving posters. Niiiiice

You know, the last 2 songs are covers (from the cover-album "avalancha de éxitos). One, by a cheesy good-old 80s-all girl pop band -link (hope you enjoy it, it's hilarious!!), and the café one by Juan Luis Guerra -linkLos tacubos just make it sound sooo much more fun... and that violin man - kills me RAD :D

tacooooooba! i first saw them while i was living in brooklyn at celebrate brooklyn, the outdoor free concert series they have. they were headlining, it was so packed, think ely guerra was up first and i had such a little friend crush on her at the time.

i was there with my peeps, eating crackers & wine, drinking wine, and having a great time. then it started to sprinkle. then a little more. not too hard, but it was steady. and they were raaaaaaad. didn't feel wet at all. :)
